Why autumn activities are important for children

The end of the year can feel difficult for children getting back to routines after summer, whether they are starting school, sticking to a bedtime or just missing the summer. It's important to take time to check-in, appreciate the changing season and show your child that colder days and darker nights are a part of the year they can enjoy too.

The CBeebies autumn activity wall chart can be printed out and stuck on a fridge or door, ready for their next family adventure. Giving your child a visual representation of upcoming activities is useful for their development and enables them to engage in plans or choose their favourite activities. Once completed, let your child use a crayon or pencil to cross through or tick the activity box.

Can't decide? Just use your finger, close your eyes and point!
